I don’t expect I’ll be updating the WIPs nearly this frequently throughout most of the process, but the early stages have many extreme changes worth mentioning.
WIP: Part Three: Palette fix & resketching
Click for closeup.
Fixing the colours by playing with saturation and photo filters. In the original sketch the figure would have been falling over, so I fixed her balance issue and general composition. Still lots of white spots. Part Four will be more detailed colour blocking on the verge of shading, then the long and tedious fun begins. You probably won’t see Part Five for a long while.

I posted this one already with yesterday’s thoughty gobbet, but I think it bears repeating just to have a complete set by the end. I’m going to post periodic work in progress updates of my big paintings, starting with Zaxamara Stone. You’ll be able to watch the process the whole way through.
WIP: Part One: Sketch
Click for closeup.
Pretty self explanatory. The final sketch that I’ll be painting over. It took me about an hour of doodling and fiddling and reshaping things (Liquify tool is addicting) until it turned out like this. Used a few google images references for the dragon’s head and the figure’s pose.
Part Two
